Sarah Jessica Parker Nails the Flapper Vibe Without Looking Costumey (Did We Have Any Doubt?)

As Kat noted yesterday, your summer may be packed full of Great Gatsby flapper-era-inspired parties. Which brings the dilemma: how to dress within theme but not look like it's Halloween—plus it's always nice to be able to wear the dress out again on, you know, a normal night. So leave it to Sarah Jessica Parker to give us the solution in one sexy-glam package.

Sizzle. The former Carrie Bradshaw is looking hot in a strapless gold Naeem Khan minidress. The beaded fringed tiers and layers of long necklaces evoke the Roaring '20s, but the neckline and hemline keep the look totally 2013 (more specifically Naeem Khan resort 2014). While gold is clearly the most eye-catching, black and white are just as modern. SJP hit a little nostalgia of her own, busting out a classic pair of black Manolo Blahnik pumps. (Cannot wait to get a look at her own shoe line!)
